There are huge differences then, cause over here there is no 5 speed, just 6-speed! My shiftknob is a 6-speed one.....hmmmm weird. So over there you guys have 5-speed RX-8's but over in US we have 6 speed ones.

whoa, his group buy price is $221 !!! I think we could almost do better on our own. I'll look around and see what I find, but that is WAY too high what is normally a $50 piece ($12 on a honda).


EDIT, I've contacted 12 different dealerships in both England and Japan. I'll just wait to hear something back from them about bulk pricing. Hope this helps.

Good ruck....

Make sure they quote you shipped.

Normal price on it from Mazda (the one that lights) is 24,500 yen, without tax in Japan where its made.

BULK PRICING hummm doesnt matter if you ask for a QUOTE on 10 shift *****, you have to use your brain on this one. EVERYONE knows 10 shift ***** to the same address is cheaper then 10 which each 1 shipped to each address.

EDIT*
Also 24,500 plus 5% for tax. Divided by 103 since thats your best rate threw PAYPAL now. Shipping for it from Japan is approx $40-50. So you do the math.....

$221 is a great deal I think..... Not to mention it already sold a few at normal price.

NOW you may say, how can he get it so cheap in Japan

I heard the UK is cheap, but I have yet to see any proof. I had some people e-mailing me and saying the UK was cheaper and asked if I could beat (THE PRICE) and I said NOPE, but they didnt buy it from the UK lets just say after the facts came in.

I dont know if the coversion was bunk or what..... If it is in the UK, im connected with quite a few shops and I know they would be more then will to do a GB from there, IF it was cheaper.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, my group prices are back. After much discussion and haggling I have been able to alot for 1 maybe 2 group buys of the black/black lighted 5spd ***** from my UK supplier for $180 shipped to your door. I have had a hell of time with international shipping rates but feel I'm getting the best deal I'm going to. So here it is:

Group Buy for black/black illuminated 5spd shifter **** $180 shipped to YOUR door. Should take no more than 2 weeks after all money is in. This is the preliminary arrangements to see how many buyers I can get. If the demand is there I'm sure I can get the prices a little lower. All interested parties should list their names on the forum and then PM me with real name and correct shipping address.

Black shift **** with lettering on the gears digits? I'm assuming the light will still shine through just not as bright as say red or orange.

From Canzoomer:

You asked about illuminated 5 speed Mazda shifter *****?

F152V8170 04(bk/slv)
F152V8170 15(bk/rd)
F152V8170 23(bk/tan)
for 5MT

See:
http://www.mazda.co.jp/accessory/garage/rx-8/index.html

Select "Interior"
Select second button down on list on left
Select any of the three sub buttons
Select the Zoom button
See? 5 or 6 speed versions.
24,400 yen list.
We sell for $305 CAD$ / $233 USD$

So the group buy price is fair.

Yeah, they're expensive. If you want the shiny bits you have to pay.

$233 is WAY high man. If you can sell them for $233 I suggest you buy them from me at $180 and then resale them for your $53 profit.

I won't *****-up this thread anymore. ANyone who is interested in this group for a much more reasonable price should see my thread in the Group Buy section. All details will be explained there.

Thanks.
